Rot. Thomas J. Brady. Pastor.
Twelfth Sunday Altar Fentaoott.
The pastor herewith calls the at
tention of the congregation to the
change of hours for service on next
Sunday, August 19th, when the mass
will be said at 7 o'clock instead of
at 7:30. This mass will be a low
mass and at that early hour so as
to meet the situation with the chil
dren who will make their first com
munion on that day and at that
hour.
There will also be a ceremony for
the children, that is, their solemn
blessing and consecration unto God.
This blessing of the children will be
for all boys and girls and most es
pecially for all the babies and in
fants of the parish. The pastor
wishes all the parents of the first
communion children to go to Holy
Communion also with their little
ones. All those who have been con
firmed or who have made their first
communion this year will also go to
holy communion. Misses Anna Mc
Devitt and Anna McDaid will assist
the pastor. Girls will procure veils,
wreaths, and wear a neat, white,
modest, ample dress without any
display of silk or lace. The children
will sing during the first commun
ion mass. There will not be any
other mass anywhere in the parish
on next Sunday. On the Sunday
after next, that is on August 26th,
there will be a first mass in Hepp
ner at 7:30 to be followed by a sea
ond in the Sands at 9:30, not at
10:30 as has been usual in the past
This advanced hour will hold only
for August 26th.
On the first Sunday of September,
that is, Sept 2nd, there will be a
parish outing at the home of Frank
Nixon, and this outing will be pre
ceded by a mass in the house there
at 9 o'clock. The pastor hopes to
see every parishoner present There
will be no mass in the church in
Heppner on that day.
Mrs. John Jackson, who has been
visiting in this city for the past two
weeks with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Thompson, and numer
ous old-time friends, departed on
Wednesday morning for her home
at Weiser, Idaho, going that far
with S. P. Devin and S. E. Notson
who were on their way to Boise.
Miss Ethel Thompson, graduate
nurse of Portland, was a week-end
visitor with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Thompson in this city.
Miss Thompson was accompanied
to Heppner by James McCrady, a
dental student of Portland, who vis
ited at the home of his uncle, J. L
Hanna of Hinton creek.
R. J. Carsner, prominent stock
man of Spray and state senator
from his district was transacting
business in the city this morning.
the grease, which is the highest
fleece weight average of any stale
in the United States. Ho points out
that there is still further chance
for improvement along this line.
This can be brought about by more
careful selection of the breeding
stock. According to Llndgren, rams
with a long staple of wool showing
lighter shrinkage would aid in
the still further improvement in our
wool production.
It is a good idea to cnecK me
dry ewes in the band," says Lind-
gren. "These dry ewes cut aown
the profit if there are too many or
them. A man may get luo per cent
lamb crop from a nock and have as
many as 25 to 30 per cent dry ewes.
Some growers are making a prac
tice of marking the drys and ir
thev eo through two years without
producing a lamb, tney are oisposea
of. This method tends to increase
the profits of the business."
Lamb fattening in Oregon oners
some opportunities in the hay pro
ducing sections of the state. Mr.
Lindgren mentions the lamb feed
ing results at the experiment sta
tions at Union and Hermiston. it
was shown in these tests that it re
quires 225 pounds of alfalfa hay and
75 pounds of grain to fatten a nrty
five pound feeder lamb in 75 days.
The lambs are given a pound of
grain a day and all the hay they
will eat With the hay at $10 a ton
and grain at $30 when feeder lambs
worth 10 cents a pound, the fat
lamb will pay for feed, labor and
interest if he brings $10.50 per hun
dred. According to Mr. Lindgren
the average spread between No
vember feeder lamb prices and
March fat lamb prices, for the per
iod of fifteen years has been $2.00 a
hundred. He states further that
lamb fattening is highly speculative
and should not be attempted on too
large a scale by the new beginner.
Tells of Survey Work. 1
Elmer Williams of the U. S. Bio
logical survey said: "The fight
against predatory wild animals in
Oregon probably started the day on
which the first range sheep arrived
in the state. For years it was con
ducted by the individual growers,
later through the legislature a boun
ty was placed on the skins of scalps
of the coyote, bobcat and wolf. Af
ter some thirty-five or forty years
of bounties the menace of the coy
ote still continued to an alarming
extent During 1914 the stockmen
of the eleven western range states
petitioned Congress for a Federal
appropriation which was granted.
This fund was turned over to the
Biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
who started to organize a paid force
of only nine men under the direc
tion of a leader in this state. From
time to time the funds for this
work were increased by the United
States Congress. The state legisla
ture of Oregon sets aside about $20,
000 a year to cooperate with the
Federal Government, this state fund
being handled through the State
Livestock Sanitary board. The Fed
eral appropriations for predatory
animal control amounts to about
$23,000 per year while various coun
tics cooperate with funds ranging
from a few dollars to as much as
$2,000 per year. This provides for
a force of about 34 hunters the year
around. During the past twelve
months the skins or scalps of 4,269
predatory animals have been taken
and turned into the Portland office
of the Survey, bringing the total for
the past ten years to slightly over
47,000 predatory animals destroyed.
In addition to the past year s kill by
paid hunters, stockmen have actu
ally reported over 1,600 dead coy
otes poisoned by Government pois
on secured through the Survey.
Regarding the Utah bounty sys
tem, this provides for a direct tax
of 5 mills on the dollar for sheep
SHEEPMEN GIVEN FACTS
(Continued from First Pace)
able range lands in sheep producing
countries have been fully stocked.
He says further that Oregon's av
erage fleece weight is 9 pounds in
and goats and 2 mills on the dollar
for horses and cattle to provide the
bounty fund. During the last two
years of general bounty In Oregon
this system cost the taxpayers over
$275,000. The present system cost,
the state, counties and Federal
Government combined less than
$60,000 a year. With paid hunters
nearly all requests for assistance
can be supplied; in cases of out
break of rabies a force of trained
men Is available. The funds now
provided are from the general fund
of state and nation. The fisherman,
the timberman, the business and
professional man pays his share for
the general 'good of the country.
Do you wish a direct tax on live
stock for this work, or leave it as
it now stands?
Remember this! The sheepmen
of Oregon properly organized can
get what they want In the way of
legislation. Get behind your asso
ciation; you know what you want
in this matter. If you don't inter
est yourselves in your own prob
lems no one else will. You must
fight your own battles as an organ
ized body of sheepmen and not as
Individuals. If you do not stick up
for what you want no one else will.
The Biological Survey stands ready
at all times to help you protect your
flocks against the coyote, the bob
cat and the cougar.
Dr. Shaw Speaks.
Dr. J. N. Shaw, veterinarian for
the Oregon Agricultural college,
spoke concerning sheep diseases
and the importance of more know
ledge of the control of these prob
lems. He estimated that the annual
loss In Oregon from disease amount
ed to more than a million dollars.
This disease problem, he stated, cov
ered stiff lambs, lungers, foot rot
pregnant ewe disease, and parasites.
He answered questions relating to
individual problems. Dr. W. H. Ly
tle, state veterinarian, was present
on a part of the trip and spoke con
cerning control of foot rot He also
covered the subject of poisonous
plants. There was a keen Interest
shown In all disease discussion,
Prior to and throughout the series
of meetings excellent cooperation
has been given the association by
representatives of the Forest Service.

Mr. Fanner---
You have plowed, harrowed and weeded and your
summerfallow is now ready for the final process,
' seeding. After seeding, you have done all in your
power and you await the results of all this work.
Seeding is the most vital process. Do you think it
is economy to keep in use a broken-down, old drill
that has long outlived its usefulness?
